Rosh Chodesh Av: Hearing Your Soul Through the Nine Days

In this shiur, Rav Dov Ber Cohen opens on Rosh Chodesh Av — the yahrtzeit of Aharon HaKohen — and traces the spiritual DNA of the entire month through the lens of shalom, shmiiah, and the inner work of fixing taiva. He teaches that the distance we feel during the Nine Days is not rejection but a deeper form of drawing close, rooted in Rebbe Nachman's insight that every harchakas is really a hiskarvus in disguise. Rabbi Dov Ber weaves together the month's energy — fire, the lion of Leo, gevurah, and the letter tes — into a single call: stop feeding the noise and start listening to the music of your neshama. The avodah of Av is not mourning a building but mourning the distance, and then using that yearning to rebuild, one present day at a time. The goal is not just surviving Tisha B'Av but entering it with kavana, and emerging with renewed fire — for shalom, for achdut, and for a Beit HaMikdash built from within.
